Rings to Buy Yourself: Why More Women Are Buying Jewelry for Themselves

It should come as no surprise that in recent years the jewelry market has seen a boom in women buying jewelry for themselves. Women today want pieces that embody their intrinsic value, passion, and success. And most importantly, women are no longer looking to men to buy for them—blossoming a once-gift-heavy market into one that is fueled by self-love. Instead of waiting to be chosen—women are choosing themselves. Enter the anti-engagement ring as a case in point. The Self Love Pinky Ring was created by Fred and Far for women more intent on discovering themselves than pining after Prince Charming. The beauty of...

The Shift I Wasn't Expecting in 2020 (Essay and Video)

I thought 2020 would be the year I got everything I wanted. Didn't we all? 2020. The year our dreams come to fruition. A new beginning. A new era. The year of perfect vision. My 2020 vision board captures a lot of what I hoped for this year: a long-awaited trip to Japan, a book tour for the new book I was going to write, cutouts of beautiful gowns for the celebrations I planned to attend. Wellness, balance, joy… all represented in various ways. I also had role models on my board, like Toni Morrison and Oprah Winfrey. And on...

I thought 2020 would be the year I got everything I wanted - Melody Godfred Quote 2020

"I thought 2020 would be the year I got everything I wanted. Now I know 2020 is the year I appreciate everything I have." Melody Godfred @fredandfar (the 20/20 poem) When I wrote these words in June of 2020, we were merely two months into this pandemic, and yet like everyone else, I was paralyzed by fear and uncertainty regarding what the year would bring. Writing this poem was my way of reclaiming the year, and shifting my perspective to one of gratitude. Because it's true. I've never been more grateful for or aware of the abundant blessings in my...

When it comes to her jewelry, Meghan Markle is always deliberate, and her latest pinky ring is no exception. From her engagement ring, which has two stones from Princess Diana (set in a trinity style signifying past, present and future), to the stunning aquamarine ring that she wore during her wedding reception (something blue and borrowed again from Princess Diana), Meghan embraces the fact that jewelry has meaning and makes a powerful statement. That's why her recent portrait with Prince Harry for their TIME100 talk is especially powerful for our movement. In the portrait for Time, Meghan is smiling and looking down at...
